On the 19th of September 2014, Tim attended the BDA seminar on Bio-aesthetics and the advanced use of composite in aesthetic and functional rehabilitations at the Hotel Russell in London.
The course learning objectives were to use rationale and clinical procedures to restore smile aethetics and tooth wear with minimal tooth preparation and destruction using composite materials.
The seminar was given by Dr Didier Dietschi DMD, PhD, Privat-Docent, from the The Geneva Smile Center and University of Geneva, Switzerland.
